Description by OLDIES.com:

St. Louis, 1903. The well-off Smith family has four beautiful daughters, including Esther and little Tootie. Seventeen-year-old Esther has fallen in love with the boy next door who has just moved in, John. He, however, barely notices her at first. The family is shocked when Mr. Smith reveals that he has been transferred to a nice position in New York - which means that the family has to leave St. Louis and the St. Louis Fair.

Product Description:

MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS is a captivating musical about a St. Louis family at the time of the 1903 World's Fair. Tunes include "Trolley Song," "Boy Next Door," "Have Yourself a Merry Christmas," and others. Academy Award Nominations: 4, including Best Screenplay, Best Song ("The Trolley Song").

Plot Synopsis:

Vincente Minnelli's classic romantic musical about a St. Louis family at the turn of the century. As the two oldest girls fret about boys and love, a darker, more serious cloud appears on the horizon: their father has been offered a job in New York City -- just as the World's Fair is coming to town and making St. Louis the "center of the world". Will they have to leave the home and town they love -- and their new boyfriends?
